Constants

SHORTCUT_CATEGORY_CONVERSATION

Added in API level 25
String SHORTCUT_CATEGORY_CONVERSATION

Shortcut category for messaging related actions, such as chat.

Constant Value: "android.shortcut.conversation"

Fields

CREATOR

Added in API level 25
Creator<ShortcutInfo> CREATOR

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 25
int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance.

getActivity

Added in API level 25
ComponentName getActivity ()

Return the target activity.

This has nothing to do with the activity that this shortcut will launch. Launcher applications should show the launcher icon for the returned activity alongside this shortcut.

Returns
ComponentName

See also:

getCategories

Added in API level 25
Set<String> getCategories ()

Return the shortcut's categories.

Returns
Set<String>

See also:

getDisabledMessage

Added in API level 25
CharSequence getDisabledMessage ()

Return the message that should be shown when the user attempts to start a shortcut that is disabled.

Returns
CharSequence

See also:

getExtras

Added in API level 25
PersistableBundle getExtras ()

Extras that application can set to any purposes.

Returns
PersistableBundle

See also:

getId

Added in API level 25
String getId ()

Returns the ID of a shortcut.

Shortcut IDs are unique within each publisher application and must be stable across devices so that shortcuts will still be valid when restored on a different device. See ShortcutManager for details.

Returns
String

getIntent

Added in API level 25
Intent getIntent ()

Returns the intent that is executed when the user selects this shortcut. If setIntents() was used, then return the last intent in the array.

Launcher applications cannot see the intent. If a ShortcutInfo is obtained via LauncherApps, then this method will always return null. Launchers can only start a shortcut intent with startShortcut(ShortcutInfo, Rect, Bundle).

Returns
Intent

See also:

getIntents

Added in API level 25
Intent[] getIntents ()

Return the intent set with setIntents(Intent[]).

Launcher applications cannot see the intents. If a ShortcutInfo is obtained via LauncherApps, then this method will always return null. Launchers can only start a shortcut intent with startShortcut(ShortcutInfo, Rect, Bundle).

Returns
Intent[]

See also:

getLastChangedTimestamp

Added in API level 25
long getLastChangedTimestamp ()

Last time when any of the fields was updated.

Returns
long

getLongLabel

Added in API level 25
CharSequence getLongLabel ()

Return the longer description of a shortcut.

Returns
CharSequence

See also:

getPackage

Added in API level 25
String getPackage ()

Return the package name of the publisher application.

Returns
String

getRank

Added in API level 25
int getRank ()

"Rank" of a shortcut, which is a non-negative, sequential value that's unique for each getActivity() for each of the two kinds, dynamic shortcuts and manifest shortcuts.

Because manifest shortcuts and dynamic shortcuts have overlapping ranks, when a launcher application shows shortcuts for an activity, it should first show the manifest shortcuts followed by the dynamic shortcuts. Within each of those categories, shortcuts should be sorted by rank in ascending order.

"Floating" shortcuts (i.e. shortcuts that are neither dynamic nor manifest) will all have rank 0, because there's no sorting for them. See the ShortcutManager's class javadoc for details.

Returns
int

See also:

getShortLabel

Added in API level 25
CharSequence getShortLabel ()

Return the shorter description of a shortcut.

Returns
CharSequence

See also:

getUserHandle

Added in API level 25
UserHandle getUserHandle ()

UserHandle on which the publisher created this shortcut.

Returns
UserHandle

hasKeyFieldsOnly

Added in API level 25
boolean hasKeyFieldsOnly ()

Return whether a shortcut only contains "key" information only or not. If true, only the following fields are available.

For performance reasons, shortcuts passed to onShortcutsChanged(String, List, UserHandle) as well as those returned from getShortcuts(ShortcutQuery, UserHandle) while using the FLAG_GET_KEY_FIELDS_ONLY option contain only key information.

Returns
boolean

isDeclaredInManifest

Added in API level 25
boolean isDeclaredInManifest ()

Return whether a shortcut is published from AndroidManifest.xml or not. If true, it's also isImmutable().

When an app is upgraded and a shortcut is no longer published from AndroidManifest.xml, this will be set to false. If the shortcut is not pinned, then it'll just disappear. However, if it's pinned, it will still be alive, and isEnabled() will be false and isImmutable() will be true.

Returns
boolean

isDynamic

Added in API level 25
boolean isDynamic ()

Return whether a shortcut is dynamic.

Returns
boolean

isEnabled

Added in API level 25
boolean isEnabled ()

Returns false if a shortcut is disabled with disableShortcuts(List).

Returns
boolean

isImmutable

Added in API level 25
boolean isImmutable ()

Return if a shortcut is immutable, in which case it cannot be modified with any of ShortcutManager APIs.

All manifest shortcuts are immutable. When a manifest shortcut is pinned and then disabled because the app is upgraded and its AndroidManifest.xml no longer publishes it, isDeclaredInManifest() returns false, but it is still immutable.

All shortcuts originally published via the ShortcutManager APIs are all mutable.

Returns
boolean

isPinned

Added in API level 25
boolean isPinned ()

Return whether a shortcut is pinned.

Returns
boolean

toString

Added in API level 25
String toString ()

Return a string representation, intended for logging. Some fields will be retracted.

Returns
String a string representation of the object.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 25
void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: The Parcel in which the object should be written.
flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE.
